Key Concepts in the Long Jump Ron Grigg Jacksonville University rgrigg@ju.edu
Topics 1. APPROACH 2. PREPARATION FOR TAKE OFF & TAKEOFF 3. FLIGHT & LANDING 4. Teaching Progressions
The Approach CONSISTENT & ACCURATE DEVELOP VELOCITY PROPER POSITION FOR TAKE OFF
The Approach GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS Posture Large Amplitudes of Movement Vertical component to the run
The Start SIMPLE FLEX TO EXTEND
Drive DISPLACEMENT vs. FREQUENCY PUSHING not SPRINTING PROGRESSION OF BODY ANGLES
Continuation CONTINUED ACCELERATION UPRIGHT POSTURE PROPER RUNNING MECHANICS SEE THE BOARD EARLY
Transition for Takeoff LAST 4 STEPS NO CHANGES IN ANTICIPATION OF JUMP amplitude posture SEE THE BOARD PERIPHERALLY
Penultimate Step LOCATED UNDER BODY FLAT ROLLING CONTACT PATTERN SLIGHT FLEXION OF LEG LOWER FOREWARD
Takeoff LOCATED UNDER BODY FLAT ROLLING CONTACT PATTERN POWERFUL SWING OF FREE LEG/ARM BODY WELL BEYOND BOARD WHEN FOOT BREAKS CONTACT
Teaching Progressions SKIPS FOR HEIGHT & DISTANCE RRPT- run, run, penultimate, take off HURDLE GALLOPS
Flight MAINTAIN POSTURE *****FREE LEG EXTENDS AND FALLS TO SLOW ROTATION***** HANG or HITCH?
Landing HEAD AND CHEST REMAIN UP BOTH ARMS OVER HEAD, SWEEP DOWN ABSORPTION
Teaching Progressions SLJ- stick landing SLJ-stick, pause, squat SLJ, stick, pause, squat, rollback and kick ALL with no pauses
Put It All Together PARTS Top Speed Running Mechanics/Posture Acceleration Mechanics/Concepts Foot Contact Patterns for Penultimate/T.O. Swinging Segment Usage for T.O./Flight Landing Concepts Full Approach Runs without Jumps (mini T.O.s)
Put It All Together WHOLE Short Run Jumps with Landings 4 steps 6 steps 8 steps….. 12 steps… etc.
